Courtesy of Concerned Women for America:
When you visit your congressman, be cordial, polite, dress appropriately and thank him for taking time to visit with you.
Be sure to thank him for any pro-family votes, and express your disappointment about any votes with which you disagreed. Then let your representative know about future legislation that is important to you as a voter.
Give simple, concise requests and explain that it matters to you which way they vote.
At the conclusion of the meeting, thank your congressman. Let him know that you are praying for him and that you believe he performs a valuable and important service to you and your country.
Also, request a meeting with him during the next recess.

CWA recognizes the tragic reality of abortion and as one step in the process of overturning abortion laws we are working to alleviate the pain of the unborn while reminding women of the humanity of their unborn child. For women who are considering having an abortion, CWA is working to ensure that they know the truth about the pain that abortion procedures will cause for their unborn child, thereby encouraging some women to decide not to have the abortion.

Urge your Senators and Congressman to cosponsor this potentially lifesaving legislation.

Current law gives the IRS the power to revoke a church’s tax-exempt status if that church produces any material deemed ’’too political’’ - thus giving the government the power to suppress the church. H.R. 235 preserves religious liberty by reversing that policy.

Urge your congressman to cosponsor the Houses of Worship Free Speech Restoration Act.

Also, ask your pastor to write a letter to your Congressman on church letterhead supporting this bill. For a sample letter, click here. Hearing from local pastors and the congregations they represent will send a powerful message to Capitol Hill. (Also, please send a copy of your letter to Rep. Walter Jones, 422 Cannon House Office Building, Washington DC 20515).
